To be honest i can't remember, that was Sept 2004 and i sold it in Sept 2005 as i now work in the States. If i recall i messed with the contact in the bulb holder, maybe bent the sping a little ???

Thanks for your pointers guys :) , its actually the Brake System light ... not the handbrake light (that works OK) I'm leaning more towards a dodgy rear bulb, i noticed the right hand brake light didn't work, so i went to change the bulb and noticed the filament was OK, so tried the brake pedal again and this time it did work ? so not sure if its a wire problem or metal contact, i'll keep looking :) Cheers guys Ant

Thanks guys , i'll get me sandpaper on the bulb connectors ...... can you point me in the direction of the handbrake switch to check :)

Hi Guys My Brake system warning is sometimes on permanently, can be on for the whole of a journey, and not on the next journey, and then on again the next time..it doesn't flicker its just either on or not?? I've checked the manual, and therefore checked the bulbs for brake lights which are OK, and i've checked the Brake fluid level, which is fine too .... the parking brake is released also so i cant find what the problem may be? Does it indicate any other problem, or is there a connection i can check? cheers Ants

Sorted now :) it did just need adjusting, fortunately. The pedal is much more positive now and only moves about 1/3 the travel it did before :) thanx for your suggestions Ants

Thanks guys i hope its just a matter of adjustment, least i can point the garage in the right direction for adjustment :) Ants

Hi guys I've just had my MOT fail at a local garage ('94 GS300) due to lack of reserve in the parking brake, i.e. the pedal goes all the way to the floor. Apparently there is adjustment in it, but does anyone know where i access it for adjustment, is it under the car? near in pedal? ?? Any pointers much appreciated cheers Ants

BUMP...just incase anyone had any ideas :) its like using the force driving on these country roads

Thanks for that, i just wondered if it was possible to replace them without messing up completely the alignment. I could just have the fronts checked, now i know it can be done :) Ants

Hi guys I have to have the Lower ball joints replaced on my Mk1 GS300, lexus did some work on some suspension bars a few months ago and charged £100 to do the wheel alignment afterwards. Is it possible to get these replaced from a non lexus dealer without having to have the full wheel alignment again, i don't fancy paying out £100 again for something that was done a little while ago. cheers Ants

Hi Guys I've noticed on the odd occasion that i use my main beam on my MK1 GS300 it is totally useless the light points into the ground about 10 feet ahead of me. I've know that i can adjust the head light level with the switch and it moves up and down......should the main beam move also???? Can i manually udjust the main beam up slightly any advice greatfully received Ants

Have a look here: http://www.kjregistrations.com/htm-dvlaauctions.htm or here http://www.selectplates.co.uk/registration...on-auctions.htm or here http://www.dvla-som.co.uk/ and of course ebay :)

If you buy a plate but don't have a car to put it on, you can simply place it on a retention certificate which costs £25 each year. There doesn't seem to be any pattern as to getting the same registration as the car had previously, i've moved my plate about 4 times now and only got the original back once, all the others were just age equivalent. If these people say they will sell your reg for you be prepared for a long wait as previously said, it could take months, either advertise it privately or put it in an auction if you want shot of it quicker :) Just a few nuggets i've learned about buying and selling plates over the last few years :) my best was M 80XTA which i sold to a guy with a boxter when they first came out made £2000 on it :D

The tyre place also does mechanical repairs, i have taken past cars there, they are very good, not one of these Kwik Krap places, even managed to get some Kumho tyres 225 55 16's for £91 each including everything so i'm pleased. Micelis..sorry to hear you havin troubles m8, anything serious ??? i've not sorted the Amp yet,,living with it fir the time being..got other thing to worry about at the moment like writing up my PhD cos there gonna stop funding it shortly

Thanx for that, i thought i may be something serious, i'm actually getting some new rear tyres tommorow so i'll ask them if they can grease up the brakes whilst there at it :) Cheers Ants944
